The CLOCKSS Archive has announced a partnership with the Association of Learned and Professional Society Publishers (ALPSP), an international association for scholarly and professional publishers. Under the deal, CLOCKSS will preserve the Association's ejournals and ebooks in CLOCKSS's geographically and geopolitically distributed network of redundant archive nodes, located at 12 major research libraries around the world.
This action provides for content to be freely available to everyone after a 'trigger event' and ensures an author's work will be maximally accessible and useful over time. By archiving with CLOCKSS, ALPSP seeks to ensure that the scholarship in their publications will continue to remain widely available to the academic community in the future.
ALPSP has a broad and diverse membership of over 300 organisations in 37 countries who collectively publish over half of the world's total active journals as well as books, databases and other products. ALPSP's mission is to connect, train and inform the scholarly and professional publishing community and to play an active part in shaping the future of academic and scholarly communication.
